At Apple's primary assembly partner, Foxconn, the copper-tinged version of the "iPhone 8" is known internally as "blush gold," according to rumors circulated over the weekend.

The color's name recently appeared via a leak on China's Weibo, where it was noticed byTech Grapple. A parallel claim was made on Twitter by well-known leak source Benjamin Geskin. It's uncertain whether the term will be used for a shipping product.

Both did suggest, however, that the phone will be available in 64- and 128-gigabyte versions. That may be unlikely, at least without an additional 256-gigabyte model, since Apple sells the iPhone 7 in 32-, 128-, and 256-gigabyte variants. Even the iPhone 6s is now sold with 32 or 128 gigabytes.

In the past couple of weeks, multiple reports have pointed to the existence of a "copper" or "copper gold" edition of the "iPhone 8." The shade has appeared on multiple design dummies, and if real is expected to join black and silver options.

Even if they're authentic, the dummies may not represent the final form of "copper/blush gold" units. They have so far had unusual yellow edges, and white front bezels, both of which would likely be changed to present a more seamless appearance given an edge-to-edge OLED display. A render supplied by Geskin (seen above) may be closer to its final appearance.

The "iPhone 8" may ship as soon as next month, but could be available in extremely limited quantities. Some other rumored features include wireless charging, faster cable charging, and a facial recognition system that may even replace Touch ID.

this color looks much better than the "copper" color reported last week...there was a poll on another site with almost 10,000 votes and "copper" was in 3rd place behind "black" and just being edged out by "mirror-finish"...so obviously they did their market research, supposedly aimed at the fashion conscious and women.This color is a much better alternative to "rose gold"

Think flesh tone. Make-up is also called "blush." This suggests the iPhone will have less contrast against the user's hand or face. This color provides a "smaller" apparent profile, for any given physical size. ANY new iPhone color advertises status for its owner, but flesh-color is camouflage (north of the equator).

People will like it, including you, because Apple released it. You will also like all other points of complaint with the early leaked dummies which you thought were fake, and Apple will not release anything like that. You will slowly get used to this color and tolerate it, even if you do not by a turd-brown phone.
